10 jobs at LSU Med Center in Treen budget
By JUDY PACE
Times Political Writer
BATON ROUGE - Gov. David
Treen's proposed budget, distributed
to legislators this week, includes rec-ommendations
for 10 new faculty and
; related support jobs at the Louisiana
State University Medical Center in
Shreveport
The budget, which must be ap-proved
by the Legislature, also in-cludes
88 new positions for LSU Hos-pital.
However, the two-volume budget
generally sets a tone of fiscal con-servatism,
expected from Treen,
with few surprises.
Rep. Loy Weaver, D-Homer, the
only area member of the House Ap-propriations
Committee, said he
thinks the budget is basically a carry
over from last year, since Treen did
not have much time to make sweep-ing
changes. "I think we'll see a
dramatic change in budgeting over
the next 12 months," Weaver said.
Weaver said he expects the ap-.
propriations bill, which will contain
the governor 's recommendations, to
be in committee by next week but did
not know which legislator will in-troduce
the bill.
He said the committee will then go
over the suggestions with a fine-tooth
comb.
Appropriations for Northwest Lou-isiana
institutions mostly include al-lowances
for inflation, but little extra
over 1979-80 amounts.
The new positions at the medical
school include four jobs for a new X-ray
technology program and three
for a new anesthesia program. Mon-ey
is provided for three assistant
professors to help maintain ac-creditation
of the center's radiology
program, plagued with problems in
the past.
The budget also suggests 5 percent
salary increases for medical school
faculty and non-classified employ-ees.
New jobs at LSU Hospital include
16 associated with current services,
40 to staff a new burn unit and 32 for
a new trauma intensive care unit.
Louisiana State University in
Shreveport, funded according to a
formula based on student credit
hours, is recommended to receive
$6.42 million, compared to $5.59 mil-lion
in the current budget and $6.99
million requested. The formula is
used to determine how much money
state universities will receive.
Southern University in Shreveport
is budgeted for $2.26 million in the
governor's recommendations, com-pared
to this year's $2.17 million and
a requested $2.54 million.
Bossier's Northwest Louisiana
State School, a residential facility for
the mentally retarded, is recom-mended
for $6.90 million, after re-questing
$8.12 million. In 1979-80, the
school was budgeted $5.79 million.
The Pines Treatment Center in
Shreveport is included in the pro-posed
budget with funding for a van
and $6,000 for kitchen equipment.
The Shreveport-Bosser Vocational-
Technical Institute is recommended
for a 10 percent increase over its
1979-80 budget, providing for con-tinuation
of existing programs, plus
the addition of a related science
program and the annualization of
three vacant instructor slots.
The suggested budget for the in-stitute
is $2.12 million, compared to
the current $1.92 million budget.
The Shreveport Region 7 Vo-Tech
Center will be funded with a 9.7
percent increase if the executive
budget is followed. The total recom-mended
is $16,500, compared to the'
center's request of $116,993. The
budget proposal suggests that the
concept of having one of the school
directors in the region serve part-1
time as chairman of the regional
director's committee be continued.
